Question

The original cost of a lamp is $18.95 . The lamp is on sale for 75% off . How much will you pay ?

Answer 1

18.95x0.75=14.2125

18.95-14.2125=4.73

You will pay $4.73

Answer 2

$4.74

Explanation:

We have been given that the original cost of a lamp is $18.95 . The lamp is on sale for 75% off.

The cost of lamp after sale would be 25% (100-75) of $18.95.

`\text{The cost of lamp after sale}=\$18.95* (25)/(100)`

`\text{The cost of lamp after sale}=\$18.95* 0.25`

`\text{The cost of lamp after sale}=\$4.7375`

`\text{The cost of lamp after sale}\approx \$4.74`

Therefore, you will have to pay $4.74 for the lamp.
